Per Alex Prewitt, the same crew that wrapped up the first round against the Islanders will get the first crack at the Rangers to kick off the second round. With that in mind, here are tonight's probable lines and defensive pairs, with Braden Holtby going head to head with Henrik Lundqvist:
Alex Ovechkin - Nicklas Backstrom - Joel Ward
Marcus Johansson - Evgeny Kuznetsov- Jason Chimera
Andre Burakovsky - Jay Beagle - Troy Brouwer
Curtis Glencross - Brooks Laich - Tom Wilson
Brooks Orpik - John Carlson
Karl Alzner - Matt Niskanen
Tim Gleason - Mike Green
Braden Holtby
That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, Michael Latta out as the lone healthy scratch, and Eric Fehr, Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine remaining out with injuries.
